Just had a break on KOA radio saying that a US soldier, captured a month or two ago, has been executed (shot).
That's all they said.
I may from time to time be guilty of that myself, but I try to call for death and destruction thoughtfully and and specifically. I say start with anyone regardless of age, sex, or disabillity who smiles, uulates, dances, or otherwise celebrates these atrocities. For example, if in the position to I would have ordered a moonscape courtesy of a few B-52s for a 5 to 10 block radius of the bridge in Falluja while the savages were performing their dance of death.
Being a member of the exclusive "CIB" club I can affirm that the result is that there will be fewer prisoners taken and a corresponding higher body count.
Yeah, no 72 virgins!
"Captured in Battle"?
Wait a minute - let's take a deep breath. I don't see any major news reporting that...
Terrorists are not signatories of the Geneva Convention. Pte Maupin was not a PW. No nation had him in detention.
Fox now reporting a murder of a U.S. Soldier, but not confirmed. Say they are working on it. Just damn.
Shouldn't there be a dramatic drop in the number of terrorists/sympatizers DETAINED? (I mean, detained alive).
I had a bad feeling but hoped that he would either be rescued or escaped. God bless him and his family.
Sorry your so "emotional"
No government existed. You're right. It's the Wild West, Mid-Eastern style.
Breaking here in the UK on Sky News. Sadly it appears that PFC Maupin was murdered. Death was apparently by gunshot. Arab websites have shown images of a body that Sky News believe to be PFC Maupin.
The next time I hear anyone whine about the Geneva Convention as it pertains to terrorists, I'm going to throw Maupin's murder right in their faces.
"Combat Infantry Badge"
Matt Maupin — may he rest in peace. Dear Lord, please help his family find comfort in the sure knowledge that Matt is now wrapped in your loving embrace.
This is about Maupin, captured in April...not "official" yet...I heard it on Abrams report, MSNBC..Says Al Jazeera says he was shown being shot in the head....NOT official.
He's dead. What's your malfunction? She asked you first.
look genius.
simply asking for confirmation. that was several hours ago and theres still to definate confirmation. Perhaps we should just call all military families and offer condolences to them as well. we might even find some whos kids are dead.
god what a moron
Sure and those deserving of death under such a scenario would be joined by 10x that number of innocents which would generate many times the number killed ready for revenge for the victims of indiscriminate violence.
Talk about a prescription for defeat.
